Warcraft Movie Characters Revealed at Blizzcon 2014!

Finally, the news we have waited for so long is here. The Warcraft movie! We are getting so close to it that I feel like I can almost touch it! I remember waiting for it ever since I played Warcraft 1! They always made these fantasy movies of other books/games and I never understood why Warcraft didn't have a movie. Well as long as it's done perfectly I am willing to wait for 20 years! And I have waited for 20 years! This is the 20 year anniversary of Warcraft. So let's see the movie! NOW!

We have finally received some solid update on the upcoming and veeeery greatly anticipated Warcraft movie. Posters are released, movie official websites are created and most importantly, the characters that the previously announced cast will play are revealed!

Now, let's take a look at which actor will tackle which role. I will try to give very brief information about these characters and try to avoid any spoilers because well I know what will happen :) So I don't wanna ruin the whole thing for those who don't know the lore, read the books or play the game.

The Horde Characters (Of course I'll start with Horde first!!!)

Durotan

Durotan: Toby Kebbell

Durotan is my most favourite Orc Chieftain. He is the leader of the Frostwolf Clan and the father of Thrall (former Warchief of the Horde). He has been the most just and honourable Chieftain among all the other clans. He has done everything in his power to protect his clan and to provide a better future for their next generations. I really can't wait to see Durotan!

I wonder who that is! :D

Orgrim: Rob Kazinzky

Orgrim is Durotan's best friend and the wielder of the legendary weapon Doomhammer before it was passed down to Thrall. He was the leader of the Blackrock Clan for a short period. He is the right hand of Blackhand who is currently the leader of the Blackrock Clan; however, he is not particularly happy about some of the decisions Blackhand makes.

Blackhand

Blackhand: Clancy Brown

Blackhand the Destroyer is one of the most fearsome Orcs that we have seen. Known for his brutality and impeccable fighting skills, even the other Orcs make sure to stay out of his way. He is the leader of the Blackrock Clan.

Gul'dan

Gul'dan: Daniel Wu

Gul'dan is a very power hungry Warlock who created the Shadow Council to rule over the horde behind closed doors. Being a puppet of Kil'jaeden, he didn't care who would get hurt in the way in order to be rewarded by his master and become even more powerful. He is among the most evil characters in Warcraft lore and he had a big part in shaping how the Horde is today. Aiding Gul'dan is one of the greatest shames in their history.

Garona

Garona: Paula Patton

Garona is an interesting character. She is actually half Orc half Draenei. She is a powerful assassin and a spy but she changes allegiances quite often. She previously served Gul'dan.

The Alliance Characters (Pfft I'm bored already) :P

Anduin Lothar

Anduin Lothar: Travis Fimmel

Anduid Lothar is the leader of the Alliance, who has made many sacrifices in order to protect the people of Azeroth. He is the Lion of Azeroth and he has many statues devoted to him. Current Leader of the Alliance King Varian Wrynn even named his son Anduin after Anduin Lothar. He's a very well respected man and one of the best fighters of the Alliance.

King Llane Wrynn

King Llane Wrynn: Dominic Cooper

King Llane is the king of Stormwind and the father of Varian Wrynn (the current leader of the Alliance). A grand statue dedicated to his honour can be found in Stormwind Keep.

Medivh

Medivh: Ben Foster

Damn I'm excited about this one! Ben Foster is among my favourite actors as well as Medivh being among my favourite lore characters. Medivh is known as the Prophet, an order that is tasked with protecting the world against the onslaught of The Burning Legion; but he is not "necessarily" a part of Alliance. Medivh is more of a neutral character. You can never know his true intentions because even he doesn't know that himself as he is in a constant state of confusion due to his spirit being possessed by the evil Titan Sargeras even before Medivh was born. He can look for peace and then the next minute he can change his mind and wage war...

Khadgar

Khadgar: Ben Schnetzer

Khadgar is one of the most powerful wizards of the Alliance. He was sent to Medivh to be his apprentice by Kirin Tor, an order consisting of the most powerful mages of Azeroth and he plays a big role in the Second War to prevent the destruction of Azeroth. His deeds also earned him a statute in Stormwind, Valley of Heroes.

Lady Taria: Ruth Negga

I don't know who the hell this character is. She is supposed to be King Llane Wrynn's partner and the Queen of Stormwind in the movie; but she doesn't exist in Warcraft universe... It looks like a completely made-up character.

So these are the characters. Some very major characters that we know so well are in the movie and I'm particularly excited about that. There were many speculations as to which road the Warcraft movie would take but in order to not offend anyone, they decided to make the movie 50% Horde, 50% Alliance. I'm fine with that I guess but I'd prefer to see more individuality.

But there are so many things in Warcraft universe that can't be filled into a movie.  I just hope they won't miss certain key elements in order to add a very unnecessary storyline of some made-up characters. I really don't want this brilliant lore to be ruined just to have it adapted to the big screen. Cause I'd rather not have a movie than seeing them make a huge mess of it -.-
